[MarrGiovon]

wayne if you come across this comment, I would like to thank you for the work you’ve been doing for all of us 🔥🔥🔥

[chantryrodriguez]

love how there is always a different approach to each mix and its never just the same exact sequence of plugins which also means that its important to know exactly what plugin does and how you can use it to bring that sauce like wavy into the mix

[AVGWayne]

Because of you i actually have a song in the millions 🤘🏽🙏🏽 you’re a huge blessing bro!!💯

[ELMCinc]

Lydia is always great behind the mic. Y’all should do microphone performance with Lydia. Details on keeping ur cadence, delivery, basically how to treat ur voice as an instrument with the beat. 💪🏾 Also 😊 I know she can sing, but def would love to hear her rap. Thanks Wavy 😊

[Richptoptier]

I’d like a video on what eq’s, compressors, or reverbs to record with if you’re a artist in a home studio. Trying to record professionally. What should I record with on my vocals in the moment? Thank you!

[K.LawTheFuture]

Bonus Tip #2 Record yourself Mix yourself. :Allen Iverson voice: Practice!!! I know its cringy to hear your own voice but its worth trying. Thanks Wavy for the tips.

[thgar]

Great content Wavy. All of the crucial steps in vocal editing for sure

[MayotheMaker]

Man that singer! She's got it. The little bit of auto adds a nice little bit of bite too.

Hey Wavy Wayne, I just want to start off by saying thank you very much for all that you've done mane. For real you taught me so much when it comes to engineering vocals and I've come a long way before from the beginning. Now I don't need to rely un unreliable engineers who don't care about your music and only care about how much they can get out of your wallet. Being and independent artist is very difficult when finding the righ people you can trust and building your reliable team that will help you get to the next level in your music career. In addition all your videos are loud and clear and I love your choice of words, I can tell you're a very high intellectual person, a true genius. Awesome job man you've made my life so much easier in that I can work on my songs in confidence. You're phenomenal teacher man keep doing your thing, thank you again!
